More than 25 jobs are to be created after a Congleton company announced it is to build 57 luxury retirement apartments in Leek.

Adlington, which has been based in Congleton for more than 30 years, has received planning approval to redevelop Compton Mill.

Work is due to start at the former mill, which is located a short distance from the town centre, in January.

The old silk mill, which was originally built in the late 19th century, used to manufacture the country’s market-leading brand, Moorcroft Knitwear.

Adlington has said it will now take those outstanding levels of design forward in their luxurious retirement dwellings and wants to sympathetically retain the historic building’s tower.

Claire Reede, Adlington marketing manager, said: “The business continues to grow from strength to strength, and our recent Gold Award win for Best Retirement Development at The What House Awards 2017 – UK housebuilding’s most prestigious event – is testament to all our efforts.

“To now bring our elegant retirement living apartments, with the option of 24-hour care to the people of Leek and the surrounding areas, just feels great.

“Our apartments are ideal for those looking to downsize and we pride ourselves on helping purchasers every step of the way; from helping to sell their original property, de-cluttering and removals, to a complimentary handyman service when they move in.”

The development of spacious one, two and three bedroom apartments will feature prestigious facilities including a table service restaurant, well-appointed homeowners’ lounge, hairdressing salon, activities and crafts room, spa suite and tranquil landscaped gardens.

Furthermore, flexible 24-hour on-site care and support will be available, should it be needed, from specialist care providers offering complete reassurance and peace of mind.
